Is Novaluxia Legit? What the Same-Room Photos Show
Three published photographs put Novaluxia in the same room as Senator Bam Aquino, SEC Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo and DTI Secretary Cristina Alderete Roque. Here is what each frame shows, and why we write photographed with instead of anything stronger.

People who type is novaluxia legit into a search box are usually looking for a reason to relax, and the photos below are one of them. Three frames, three name cards, one Novaluxia team member in each. In order: Senator Bam Aquino; Rogelio Quevedo, Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission; and Cristina Alderete Roque, Secretary, Department of Trade and Industry. The platform published all three as part of its event material. We are going to take them one at a time, say where each was taken, and keep the captions honest.
Senator Bam Aquino#
The first photo was taken indoors in front of a large event screen, the kind a hall uses to carry a stage feed. Senator Bam Aquino is on the left in a dark blue shirt, glasses on, smiling at the camera. On the right stands a Novaluxia team member in the platform's white shirt, a lanyard around his neck and an event badge hanging from it. The frame is shot upright, and the name card in it carries the title as printed: Senator Bam Aquino.
We write photographed with, because that is what the frame holds: two people standing together at the same event. We do not put words in their mouths.
Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo#
The second photo is a corridor shot. Rogelio Quevedo, Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission, is on the left in a suit and tie. The name card in the frame spells the title out in full: Rogelio Quevedo, Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission. That leaves no guesswork about who he is. A Novaluxia team member stands beside him, and both men wear event lanyards.
Same rule as the first photo. The photograph places the platform in the same corridor as the Commissioner during the event. It does not put a sentence in his mouth, and it does not need to.

Secretary Cristina Alderete Roque#
The third photo comes from the event floor, with the crowd and the booth signage behind the pair. Cristina Alderete Roque, Secretary, Department of Trade and Industry, stands on the left in red and black, a small Philippine flag pin on her lapel. Beside her is a Novaluxia team member in the same white shirt and badge. The name card in the frame carries her title the same way.
Photographed with. The Secretary was at the event, and so was the team. That is the whole claim, and it is enough to put the platform in the company it keeps.

Why a same-room photo is not an endorsement#
A photograph like these shows one thing: the platform had a place at the event, and the person in the frame was there too. That single fact is the basis for every caption in this dispatch, and it is a smaller claim than the frames could be stretched to carry. The camera does not show what was said in the corridor, how long the two of them stood there, or what anyone thought of the app afterwards. We leave those parts out, because the frame does not carry them. It does not say the Senator likes the app, that the Commissioner reviewed it, or that the Secretary recommends it. None of the three said anything about Novaluxia in these frames, and none of the three signed anything either.
So the caption runs photographed with, met at the event, or was in the room. Nothing stronger, and nothing vaguer. The claim is that the platform and the official were in the same place on the same day, which each frame shows on its face. If we called any of these an endorsement, we would be doing two wrong things at once: putting words in the mouth of a public official, and making the platform's record look thinner than it is. The record does not need the help. A platform that keeps turning up in the same rooms as senators, commissioners and secretaries, with photographs to match, is already telling you something about its reach.
The launching ceremony and the handshake#
The same album holds the platform's Official Launching Ceremony. The backdrop behind the group reads NOVALUXIA SHOPPING APP — OFFICIAL LAUNCHING CEREMONY, and the frame is full: team members, guests, a table at the side, the screen overhead. This file prints dates only when the material carries them, so the ceremony photo runs without one.
Another frame from the album is the handshake. A Novaluxia team member greets guests in a banquet room, round tables and place settings behind them, jackets still on. No name card in this one, and no title to read off it. A room full of people, one handshake, one more occasion where the platform was physically present.

The platform behind the photo file#
The three frames sit inside a wider file. Novaluxia is a social e-commerce platform built around group buying, points and community. It counts 105+ merchant partners, 3M+ group-buy sales and 99% positive feedback. It is incubated by Innoventure Global Partners Ltd, a Cyprus-based private investment house. The Philippines is its first Asia-Pacific launch market.
A hallway photo on its own is worth very little. A hallway photo beside a named commissioner, attached to a platform with a partner list, a bank partnership and apps in both stores, is a piece of evidence a reader can use. The record page keeps the rest of that file. The numbers above are the headline.
